Update: CM Punk Hits Fan at End of Raw

A big incident is catching the attention of the WWE Universe based on the conclusion to last night's Raw. It wasn't the fact that Vince McMahon dropped a bombshell on CM Punk that he will face either Ryback or John Cena at Hell in a Cell. Instead it was the fact that Punk hit a fan several times while he was up in the audience towards the end of the show.

Many fans watching from home believed it might have been a work, with the fan strategically planted and Punk striking him as part of the show. However, there are now reports that the fan is taking legal action. The Spotlight, a pro wrestling fan page on Facebook, has posted multiple updates on the incident including:

"CM Punk UPDATE"

From Twitter another shot of the "CM PUNK Victim"

The fan page also stated previously:

CM Punk Fan Incident Update.
The fan who was struck by CM Punk on tonight’s WWE Raw is to take legal action according to Arda Ocal of The Score. Ocal tweeted:
"Local CBS reporter @colereporting, who was at RAW, spoke to man claiming to be t
he fan hit by CM Punk. He filed a report with Police." The fan in question suffered a minor bruise on his face next to his eye, and a broken pair of sunglasses. Here is a photo the reporter took of the man that will be used as evidence.

As of right now, WWE itself is not saying anything about the incident, but it will be interesting to see if any internal repercussions happen as a result of this. They want Punk to be their top heel right now, and on a very important and lengthy title reign, there are plenty of fans calling for him to lose the title over this. However, WWE seems to have big plans with regards to who he will face and when, as many believe CM Punk vs. The Rock, was the big match coming at Royal Rumble, with the WWE championship up for grabs.
